Abstract excerpt
We describe a family segregating the retinoblastoma phenotype where the affected individuals have only unifocal tumours and where linkage analysis has identified unaffected mutant gene carriers. DNA from members of this 'low penetrance' pedigree was subjected to an exon-by-exon SSCP analysis of the RB1 gene. No mutations were found in the 27 exons of the coding region but an SSCP band shift was seen for PCR...
